Installing Windows XP Problem - ThinkPad 600
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2008 7:32 pm
Hi Guys
My first post for help in here !
I have used the forum lots of times in the past to find help with re-building 600's, and the help is EXCELLENT thanks.
This machine will run Win 98 not a problem, but if I stick a HDD in the machine with XP on it, it shows the XP logo, and then Blue Screens!
To get around the problem, I have put a 98 HDD in, then used a CD to upgrade it to XP, during the install it said that some of the Hardware would not run, but it loaded up, and took the XP upgrade. It also re-started and gave me the "Welcome" screen to XP
Cracked it, I thought !
Closed it down, and re-booted ...........
Blue screen !!
WHY ??
The BIOS has the upgrade, is there anything that this thing needs?
Thanks
